If you're the kind of person who likes the storyline to make sense this is not for you. Also, like the other recent films and TV series, it pretty much ignores the older Star Trek material, so if you're a real Trekkie it will probably be disappointing for you as well.
Basically it's a mindless bit of popcorn fodder that doesn't bare any kind of analysis. It has plenty of the older Star Trek Next Generation characters shoehorned in for the casual Star Trek fan. I was ok with it as just a fun piece of entertainment right up to the last two episodes, where they try to explain the story and give a dramatic finale. At which point it descended into ridiculousness and I couldn't suspend my disbelief any more.
Based on the first disk (the first three episodes), and especially if you’re a Next Generation fan, this is a disaster. Picard is no longer a dynamic leader. He acts and sounds old as he whispers his lines. Perhaps not surprising given Patrick Stewart’s age. Most of the time he drinks tea and worries about the harvest on the French farm to which he’s retired. It’s a low-key talkathon with no plot or character interest and barely any action. Space? Forget it. I was soon on FF. Maybe it improves with disk 2, but I won’t be finding out. From what I hear, both Season 1 and 2 are rubbish but Season 3 at last gets going, with Jonathon Frakes back as Number 1 and director. So maybe I’ll give that a shot.
